The proposal to acquire 114 Rafael Jets will be kept infront of Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), led by Defense Minister, Rajnath Singh after the visit of french president, Emmanuel Macron.

After this, it is expected that Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) will be granted, marking the first formal procedure for procurement.

It is planned that 18 Rafaels of this initial slot will be manufactured completely in France, while the other 96 will be manufactured in India under the partnership with suitable Indian Private firms.

This shows that Rafael were actually effective during Operation Sindoor, during which Rafael equipped with SCALP missiles, METEOR missiles and Hammer Precision guided munitions neutralised many terror camps, Pakistan Air Force Air bases and even enemy Fighter jets.

Guys, I can't believe it 😭 😭
This project (MRFA) was started in 2008, when I was born, I thought I will see procurement only after I pass out from college, finally these idiots are speeding things up, after 18 years, isn't it motivating 🤪 .
This project alone saw 2 different Party's governance, it was initiated during INC rule, with ending in clashes with Rafael, but finally, a middle ground has been found.
